Abstract
This study generated the seismicity and fault-based source model from current earthquake catalogue and estimated their expected ground motion and attenuation relationships. It also assessed the resulting seismic hazards potential of Nigeria and parts of West Africa. These were with a view to providing information on present and future levels of ground motion expected from quakes/tremors in Nigeria and parts of West Africa and serve as vital inputs to the design and development of earthquake resistant infrastructures.
